The backbone of NVIDIA is building the hardware that allows for deep learning to exist, and NVIDIA was in the market for a learning ecosystem for their
Deep Learning Institute (DLI) to spread deep learning training.
The DLI aims to educate its over 600k developers, data scientists and researchers with an accessible learning ecosystem under its full control. In addition to their educational motives, NVIDIA wanted to produce a
marketable learning platform that would encourage investment into their hardware.
